Stephen D. Senturia spent 35 years as Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been involved in micro-sensor and MEMS research since the early 1970’s, working on dielectric sensors, polymers in micro-electronics, methods of material property measurement, CAD tools for MEMS, and the Polychromator, a diffractive MEMS device. Since retiring from MIT in 2002, Dr. Senturia has served as Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Polychromix, a company built on the Polychromator technology. Honor and professional societies include the National Academy of Engineering (Fellow), the IEEE (Fellow), Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi.
